Ingredients 🛒
- 3 chicken breasts, cooked or grilled
- 1 pound thick-cut bacon, cooked
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar and jack cheese mix
- 1/2 packet Ranch Seasoning
- 4 large burrito-sized tortillas
Step-by-Step Instructions 👩🍳
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Finely chop the cooked chicken breasts and bacon into 1/4-inch dice. In a large bowl, combine chicken, bacon, cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Sprinkle the Ranch Seasoning evenly over the mixture and mix until well combined.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
Lay a burrito-sized tortilla flat. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken-bacon mixture into the center of the tortilla.
Step 3: Roll the Wraps
Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top, forming a burrito-style wrap.
Step 4: Toast for Extra Flavor (Optional)
For a warm and crispy finish, heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the wraps on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melty.
Step 5: Serve
Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil for an on-the-go meal.
Chef Tips 👨🍳
Chef Gordon Ramsay: “Always use freshly cooked chicken for the best flavor. If you’re short on time, rotisserie chicken works beautifully too.”
Ina Garten: “Add a handful of fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the filling—it brightens up the richness of the bacon and cheese.”
Bobby Flay: “Toast your wraps on a hot skillet or griddle. That slight crunch makes a world of difference.”
